Overview
- The Relicta Foundation says it has identified the site near Sławoborze, with massive ramparts and an approximately 18‑foot‑deep moat enclosing about six hectares.
- Magnetometry indicates building foundations arranged around a rectangular market square, and drilling uncovered more than two meters of cultural layers with a street toward a gate.
- Researchers recorded roughly 1,500 geophysical anomalies inside the enclosure that are consistent with buried structures.
- More than 400 artifacts span the Bronze Age to World War II, including medieval coins and dress fittings and munitions linked to a 1761 Russian–Prussian battle.
- The town plan reflects German municipal law traditions, the founders likely were the Margraves of Brandenburg, and the team now aims to locate civic buildings as analyses continue.
